Setting Up the FAB
Initial FAB setup includes obtaining the correct hardware and installing the DB Admin software, which only operates with a Windows operating system. The FAB connects to DB Admin through a USB connection to your computer. DB admin stores the data collected from fabric testing and syncs automatically with VStitcher and Lotta. Additional setup includes material preparation.
